CHs:

Another remedy for those non-CH friends who inadvertently sample the wrong

"Analgesic drugs are often tested against experimentally induced pain. Such
studies have been conducted for marijuana too. In one 2007 report in the
journal Anesthesiology, 15 healthy volunteers received skin injections with
capsaicin -- the chemical behind that fiery spice in chile peppers -- and
then smoked different-strength marijuana cigarettes. The medium dose, with a
4% THC concentration, lessened the burning pain."

This is from the ``Pro'' part of this three part article.
